Like you said before, the only way for that to work would be for you to care only about your vision and not the people affected by it. But what's the point of the vision at all EXCEPT to affect people? If you don't care about the people, then why would you even care about your own actions? It's like pushing peas around on a plate, or...I don't know, stacking up blocks. Sure, you can move them however you want, but it can't hold your attention forever because there's no connection between you and anything you do or don't do to them.
So then after a while you get bored, but you're still around forever. And since you don't care, then either you stay bored, or you start just trying to amuse yourself. Then you're toying with people, but you don't care about them so it doesn't matter to you. And you're a force of nature, so there's nothing to stop you or rein you in; you just happen to people. So what's to stop you from making them suffer? It's new and it's interesting. And meanwhile real people are getting hurt, all the time, and it doesn't matter to you because they mean nothing to you or your world. They don't matter.
But even that would get boring, I think. Sooner or later you'd run out of even cruelty. And then there'd just be nothing for you, and you'd still be there. Forever.
